Review on 🐝 Altair 818 Hornet Beginner Drone: Live Video, 15 Minute Flight Time, Altitude Hold, Perfect Personal Hobby Starter RC Quadcopter for Kids & Adults (Yellow 818 Hornet) by Brandon Show

Funny sturdy little drone, I recommend!

This is my first time flying and I really enjoyed using this drone. There are many videos online to help you get started and they are highly recommended, especially if you are a beginner. I started flying indoors in a biplane so I had room to maneuver and after half a dozen flights I took it outdoors on a day with no wind and a day with wind speeds of about 5mph. I was able to practice flying in all of these conditions without fear of losing the drone. So far I've only used the beginner mode on the drone, but I think it'll be pretty quick using the more advanced modes. As a new aviator, I've had low-speed collisions with walls, ceilings, potted plants, the ground, bushes, and once a tree. The drone held up pretty well with just a few scratches. The camera might not win an award for cinematography, but it's good enough to take photos and video of your garden from treetops or whatever, and connecting to a phone or tablet was easy, but I still lose control when I do try to fly with first-person view. I'm looking forward to warm weather and being able to fly it outdoors and I think I'll put many hours to use as I learn to fly. I think there will be a lot of fun ahead as I learn more advanced piloting skills.
